Orin Langelle reports on the First International Temperate Forest Conference (FITFC) in Tasmania; and the editors reprint a biotechnology-critical statement from the left-radical Dutch paper Konfrontatie.

In this issue of the ALARM, the editors explain the history of its name. Maine EF! brings up the subject of political violence against activists and tells the story of police brutality that occured against Mount Blue activists; Anne Petermann reports from the Earth First! invasion of the Conservation Congress in Bristol, Vermont; and Helkat welcomes new voices to the EF! movement.

With issue 7, the ALARM changes its subtitle from “a voice of northeast Earth First!” to “a voice of revolutionary ecology” to reflect the feeling of the group Biodiversity Liberation Front EF! that it was too great a responsibility for one group to represent the entire region. While they will continue to report about EF! actions, they wish to draw on a revolutionary ecology perspective to form a more broadly based movement.

In this issue of the ALARM includes a report on a Native Forest Network (NFN) activist’s arrest for protesting the destruction of roadless areas by the U.S. Forest Service in Idaho; a report of environmental devastation resulting from international initiatives such as toxic waste trade in Somalia; local news of a golf course threatening to expand into sacred Mohawk burial grounds; and a report on the economic development standoff of the Paugeesukq Nation and the state of Connecticut. Fiery Virus continues the argument against biotechnology from the previous issue. Orin Langelle and Anne Petermann present a thorough investigation of the situation in James and Hudson Bay, Northern Quebec, where people fight against Hydro-Quebec.
